Professor Barry R. Masters received a PhD from The Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, an MS degree from Florida State University, and a BS from The Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, New York. Professor Masters was Visiting Scientist in the Department of Biological Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Visiting Scholar in the History of Science Department at Harvard University, Visiting Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Bern, and Professor in Anatomy and Cell Biology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. He was a Visiting Professor in Japan, India, Australia, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, The United Kingdom, P. R. China, and Egypt. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the Optical Society of America (OSA), and the international society for optics and photonics (SPIE). From 1999 to 2000, Professor Masters was an AAAS Congressional Science and Engineering Fellow and served as Legislative Assistant in the United States Congress. He is a recipient of the Vogt Prize for Ophthalmic Research (highest Swiss award for research in ophthalmology) with Dr. Matthias Böhnke in 1999 for their work on "confocal microscopy of the cornea." Professor Masters has published 87 refereed papers, 143 book chapters and proceedings articles, 105 abstracts, and 239 book reviews. He is the editor or author of 10 books, among them Noninvasive Diagnostic Techniques in Ophthalmology, Confocal Microscopy and Multiphoton Excitation Microscopy: The Genesis of Live Cell Imaging, and Handbook of Biomedical Nonlinear Optical Microscopy (with Peter So). Masters wrote the essay "What Is Light?" (translated into 15 languages) for the International Commission for Optics (ICO), to inaugurate the International Year of Light, 2015. He lectures worldwide on the Responsible Conduct of Research, biomedical ethics, critical thinking, and biomedical photonics. His scholarly interests include
